nidge Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Get a True sim card called Intersim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2010 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 You haven't mentioned where you are calling to, but generally calling the US and EU is cheap with calling cards. 7-11 Convenience stores sells telephone cards, you get decent calling time with them. You may want to ask the locals which card is best for what country. Other stores might sell cheaper ones too. Some internet cafes have cheap internatioal call services too.

lovelomsak Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Do you have a mobile here in Thailand? If you do and want to call the states just dial 0091 then the full telephone number including the area code it is so simple and cheap.009 gets you out 1 is the country code. Then it is just area code and phone number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregb Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Right now, cheapest way in general is here: http://www.easycard.in.th/index.php/en Their minutes actually have 60 seconds some of the other calling card providers seem to use different clocks than the rest of us. 50 satang to the US. Free callback so no domestic call charges. Topup with True Money at 7-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 How about we move this over to the communications forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks GB -- I do use Skype and Skype-out but the call quality is not always acceptable and sometimes my Internet is just plain down ... However one great thing about having Skype-out is that calls to '800' numbers in USA are free... This easy-card may be the best tip I've garnered from your posts since I decided to start buying Meals-ready-to-eat with 3-year shelf life ...
